About the Event

Meridian's 12th annual Fam Fest sponsored by PrimeTrust, combined the Health & Fun Fair at the Suzanne Gresham Center and the Ducky Derby Race Against Child Abuse sponsored by Muncie Sanitary District as well as adding the NEW experience of Safety Town powered by Indiana Michigan Electric. Fam Fest raises money and awareness for the Child Advocacy Center, a division of Meridian Health Services that helps improve the lives of children and families through counseling, family assistance, medical care and child abuse/neglect recovery.

Meridian’s Ducky Derby is a community event focused on the awareness and prevention of child abuse. Proceeds benefit the Child Advocacy Center (CAC), housed at the Suzanne Gresham Center. CAC is one of only four centers in the state that has received full national accreditation by the National Children's Alliance. It is the only CAC housed within a children's treatment center, providing counseling to aid in recovery.

Corporate ducks raced down the White River in support of the Child Advocacy Center in the Ducky Derby Race on Saturday, August 24 at 10 a.m. The race was held at the Tillotson Street Bridge, in Muncie, adjacent to Suzanne Gresham Center.

The duck pluck had over $3,000 in raffle prizes! Duck pluck ducks could win a Bahamas Cruise, a set of tires from Midas, gift cards, and much more!
